The Healing Power of ForgivenessS. Richard NelsonRepentance and forgiveness are the essence of the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are principles that offer hope, expectation and encouragement to every believer. Faith in Jesus Christ teaches us that it is worth everything to continually cleanse and purify our lives through repentance. It is because of our faith in Him that we have the power to receive His forgiveness. The great blessing and miracle is that you and I have the very same power given to us.

Book Four"We are most like Jesus Christ when we forgive another person." |
The healing power of forgiveness brings great joy and peace to us. This infinite miracle is a direct result of the great mediation and atonement of Jesus Christ. This reconciliation, where Jesus through His own choice paid the price of our sins and mistakes, sanctifies and purifies us. It is indeed the greatest miracle of all miracles. The forgiveness offered to us through Jesus Christ is the essential element for achieving reconciliation with God.
Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, loves us and has given us His gospel to protect us from taking the dark journeys in life. When we stray, repentance and the powerful gift of forgiveness have the potential to bring us back from those journeys, back from the depths of despair; and to bring us peace in this world and eternal life in the world to come. The purpose of this little book is to bring the strength and comfort of the Holy Spirit to all those who are reaching out for peace in a hurtful world. |
